Book Synopsis River Discharge to the Coastal Ocean by : John D. Milliman
Download or read book River Discharge to the Coastal Ocean written by John D. Milliman. This book was released on 2013-03-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers provide the primary link between land and sea. Utilizing the world's largest database, this book presents a detailed analysis and synthesis of the processes affecting fluvial discharge of water, sediment and dissolved solids. The ways in which climatic variation, episodic events, and anthropogenic activities - past, present and future - affect the quantity and quality of river discharge are discussed in the final two chapters. The book contains 26 tables and more than 165 figures - many in full color - including global and regional maps. The book's extensive appendix presents the 1534-river database as a series of 44 tables and 132 maps that provide quantitative data regarding the discharge of water, sediment and dissolved solids. The complete database is also presented within a GIS-based package available online at www.cambridge.org/milliman. River Discharge to the Coastal Ocean provides an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals and graduate students in hydrology, oceanography, geology, geomorphology and environmental policy.

Book Synopsis Marine Particles by : David C. Hurd
Download or read book Marine Particles written by David C. Hurd. This book was released on 1991-01-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 63. In the past twenty or so years, there has been an increasing amount of interest in suspended particulates in seawater. This interest has concentrated on defining the distribution and variance of particle mass, composition, and flux. It is now well recognized that biogenic and other particle fluxes in the ocean define the principle mechanisms of non-conservative behavior that influence all reactive material. There is, however, concern that the analytical and sampling variability associated with our methods must be sufficiently within our control in order to discern important temporal and spatial variability of particles and fluxes. A review of papers in the recent literature which deal with analyzing the chemical and physical properties of particles collected by traps, pumps and other samplers, reveals that there is a considerable diversity of approaches and techniques being used by the community of active researchers in this field.

Book Synopsis Response of Particulate Optical Properties to Coastal Mixing Processes by :
Download or read book Response of Particulate Optical Properties to Coastal Mixing Processes written by . This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial and temporal variability in particulate and dissolved material is a major source of optical variability in the upper ocean. This research was designed to examine the interaction between physical processes and the properties, abundance, and optical importance of different particle types in coastal ocean waters. We have substantially refined individual particle measurement methods and developed new approaches to use individual particle results for interpretation of both inherent and apparent bulk optical properties. The project comprised a combination of instrument development and field studies in coastal waters of the eastern U.S. continental shelf. Work to interpret our field observations has included a combination of laboratory studies, modeling based on Mie theory, and radiative transfer modeling. Our results have emphasized the importance of particles, especially phytoplankton, in determining vertical and temporal optical variability on the continental shelf. Several publications have arisen from this research, and we anticipate 3-4 more during the next year (in conjunction with the completion of a Ph. D. dissertation). In addition, as part of this program, we have submitted our observations to national databases.
